Abstract
Economic growth and increasing urbanization in urban areas have led to a surge in motor vehicle use, contributing to air and environmental pollution—including in Medan, This growth has resulted in higher traffic volumes in Medan’s city center. In response, the Medan city government has begun planning public transportation systems such as bus rapid transit and railways to support daily mobility needs. As public transportation infrastructure is being developed—particularly around Medan Railway Station—there is a growing need for pedestrian pathways to facilitate smooth transitions between different modes of transport. Therefore, this study focuses on examining pedestrian routes in the Medan Railway Station area through a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) approach. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study aims to assess the current condition of pedestrian pathways in the area and evaluate the implementation of the TOD concept to improve mobility between public transport systems while supporting the area’s function.
